How To Make Nut Milk

As a Health Coach, I am constantly sharing my yummy recipes for smoothies, bowls and healthy snacks. Very often, my recipes call for “your favorite nut milk”. So, naturally, one of the questions I get asked the most is “How do I make nut milk?”

Nut milk is a great alternative to dairy milk: full of protein and healthy fats, delicious and so easy to make yourself! Nut milk is super-easy to make at home and is amazingly versatile. Warning: once you see how easy it is to make it yourself, you’ll never buy premade nut milk anymore [Symbol]

There are 2 ways to make nut milk. Most people don’t know about the express version, it will surprise you!

2. Rinse the nuts thoroughly. I put them in a strainer and rinse them about 4 times.
3. Tip them into a blender; add 4 cups of water and the sweetener. Blend for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
4. Secure a nut bag over a jar and pour the nut mixture over it. Bunch up the nut bag and squeeze the milk out, leaving the pulp in the bag (you can use the leftover pulp to make nut flour – simply dry it out, whiz it up again and store in a separate jar until needed).
5. Filter the milk into an airtight bottle and pop it in the fridge where it’ll last for a good 3 to 4 days.

And… ready to enjoy!

Note: Nut milks naturally separate – this is nothing to worry about, just give them a good shake before you use them.
